He designs, programs, analyzes, slices, and dices software that enables people to socialize and collaborate in innovative and significant ways. He has degrees in computer science and now HCI, minors in math and French, and can swing dance pretty well too. Patrick can be reached at: 
Scott Davidoff is fascinated by the issues that cause products to succeed -- and fail -- in the marketplace.
Scott has six years experience leading teams to bring new and innovative technologies to market. His small company helped SBC Ameritech to introduce their first IP Telephony product to the consumer market, and AOL Time Warner to stream their first webcast to 20 million members.
Scott came to CMU to refine his methods of rapid prototyping and measurable user-testing. He sees in HCI the potential to bridge the risk-filled division between technology, design and marketing. Scott can be reached at:
